When I try to log in using SSH, it does not accept the password that I use to log into the dashboard as administrator, any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks
Answer :::
Are you using ssh from the expert mode?
If not what ssh client are you using?
If using a 3rd party ssh client, are you entering the username pi-star?
I used both window' 10 openshh and putty, both cases Pi-Star asked for the pass word, but it said it was incorrect, but the same password I used to connect tot he dashboard as administrator. It was strange that as I typed the password, nothing came up on the screen.
Case is important, are you using the correct case for the name and the password?

The reason ssh won't take the same password even though it works in the Admin Panel, is that the password in ssh mode won't accept special characters like # or *. I had the same issue as you with pi-star and wasted too much time figuring that out on this end. I haven't gone through them all to see which don't work, I know "!" works. The Admin Page should add "Do not use special characters like ..."
